• Pellitory being held in the Mouth opens the fa- 
lival Du6ts and draws forth abundance of Spittle *, 
which renders it a Specifick in the Tooth-ache, 
particularly when the Pain proceeds from Obftru&i- 
ons or a Catarrh. By its Acrimony and Pungency 
it alfo vellicates the Nervts, and refolves their Ob- 
ftrudtions, and is therefore very ufeful to be held 
in the Mouth and chewed in fleepy Difeafes, or 
Palfy of the Tongue.
